Okay, let's try this. It's 10:30 pm and just got back from fireworks with the wife and kid but I'll give it a shot.
Buy an XJet. They aren't cheap (100+) but it will be one of your best investments. No more need to buy any tips because the XJet has a variable spread. Her a 5 gallon bucket to mix the chemicals in and let the XJet draw from that bucket. You should be able to hit 25 or 30 feet with the Xjet, plenty for that house. You don't need a chemical injector because you now have the XJet. For the amount of nasty on that house you might want to mix 1 to 2 gallons of bleach and the rest water in that 5 gallon bucket. Soak it down with the Xjet (in the shade) dwell and rinse. It will come out beautiful.
But the products from Pressure Tek in Clevand Ohio. Ask for Stuttering Bob (no joke). You need Gutter Gernade and a XJet to get yourself started. While you are waiting for that to come in on the UPS truck look around your city for a chemical distributer. You are looking for Sodium Hypochlorite at 12.5% or 15%. Get an account with that company. You'll have to fill out government paperwork for terrorism crap. (No joke). Let us know when this is done and we'll move onto the next step. I've got to get some sleep but I'll be around tomorrow.
Anyone else want to add something? Please feel free.

Hello again. I know I've been gone for a while but I'm back again. Things are going well for business. More commercial contracts and plenty of work. In fact I took me advertising out of the Yellow Pages. I even had time to finish my Masters degree. Wife and child are doing great but the kid can drive me nuts once in a while, he must have learned that from my wife. It's good to be back. Once again, hello everyone.

I might add my 2 cents worth here. Get the right chemicals to do the job right. X-13 Gutter Gernade is what you want to make those gutters look like new, about a 15:1 ratio. It doesn't take much. Spray it on in the shade and rinse before it dries. You won't believe the difference. On vinyl houses I coat them with a light bleach mixture and use a FatBoy to pump it from chemical tanks in the truck. Dwell for 10 minutes and rinse. You can use an XJet for this too. DO NOT buy an extension wand. Years ago when I first tried the XJet I came home and used a chain saw on my extension wand so it would fit in the trashcan. I also mix Simple Cherry to keep things rinsing well. Lastly, do not rely on pressure to clean the house, you'll only get into trouble. The key to a good job is water volume, not pressure.
Try to start at the gutters so you don't have to rinse the whole house over. A lot of nastiness is going to come off those gutters and land on the vinyl siding. Let us know how it works out.
BTW, YouTube has tons of videos but not all of them are good. Use your common sense and you'll do fine.

Sitting on the dock with my camera this morning. Made a friend.
Ahhh, still can't upload pictures. Anyways, a dolphin came right to me for some photographs.
We'll be leaving tomorrow (Wednesday) for the USA and I'll be able to share some pictures then. Natrually I have a huge roof to do as soon as I return. :(

It's great to hear from everyone again, thanks.
